The gerund phrase in this sentence is <span>camping near a lake. The gerund itself is camping, but as a phrase, it has additional modifiers (near a lake) that describe it. Gerunds and gerund phrases function as nouns in a sentence. So, in this case, its noun use is predicate nominative (predicate noun), that is a noun that completes the predicate by telling us what the subject is.</span>

<h3>What is passive sentences?</h3>

A passive sentence is a sentence in which the subject does not perform the action of the verb. In fact, in a passive sentence, the action of the verb occurs with the subject.

Two voices are written: active and passive.  In the active voice, the subject acts as the subject of the sentence, as in Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Active voice is direct, clear and easy to read. In the passive voice, a topic is discussed, for example, "Neil Armstrong walked on the moon."  

A passive sentence is almost the opposite of an active sentence, because the object of the verb (the recipient of the action) moves to the previous position and the subject (the doer of the action) moves to the end (usually "with". " clause).Below is a model: Object "to be" Verb (optional "half" clause).

Why is active listening an important component of communication? A. Most people only pretend to listen during a conversation. B.
VARVARA [1.3K]
The correct answer here is C.

Active listening is surprisingly not something many do, even though it is an important part in communication. While listening we often get distracted and think what are we going to say next so we are not always actively listening. This requires a lot of empathy, patience and practice but it is worth as we show that we value the speaker and that their thoughts are important to us.

English question ASAP​
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Third Option:

“I just had my car keys, but now I can’t find them anywhere. Has anyone seen my keys?”

Explanation:

First, the comma separates the now from the keys statement. This allows the sentence to flow more smoothly.

Second, the ”Has anyone seen my keys?” Is a question — in which it needs to be sepearated from a statement; “...but now I can’t find them anywhere.”
